Richarlison reveals Tottenham pre-season gave him something he hasn’t had in years

1 hour ago 27

Richarlison has spoken about his experience working under Thomas Frank so far and admitted that this summer at Tottenham has been very different.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker could not have hoped to have made a better start to the season, scoring a brilliant brace in Spurs’ 3-0 win over Burnley.

By doing so, the striker has already halved his Premier League goal tally from last season after just one league game.

With a World Cup coming up at the end of this season, the former Everton man will be keen to establish himself as a starter at N17 and catch the eye of Selecao boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Richarlison reveals what has been different about pre-season at Tottenham

The striker has been ravaged by injuries since his big-money switch to Tottenham three years ago, which has prevented him from getting a run in the side and building momentum.

Richarlison admitted that this has been the first time in many years that he has actually had a full pre-season and has revealed that he feels stronger physically for it.

Speaking about pre-season at Tottenham, he told Globo Esporte: “Pre-season is always tough and tiring, but it’s very important, especially for us with a new manager and new players arriving and leaving.

“It’s a time to improve physically and start to understand each other on the pitch in the way the coaching staff want us to play. It’s been years since I had a full pre-season, and I feel really good physically, ready for the start.”

Richarlison wants to repay Thomas Frank’s faith

The Tottenham striker gave this interview ahead of Tottenham’s clash against Burnley, and admitted that he has enjoyed working with Thomas Frank.

The striker expressed his keenness to repay the faith that the Dane has shown in him, and it is fair to say he certainly did that on Saturday.

When asked about the new Tottenham boss, Richarlison said: “Working with Thomas Frank has been great so far. He’s given all of us a lot of confidence and has been really good in our conversations. I hope to repay that on the pitch.”
